Hypertension causes varying degrees of disability and a reduction in life expectancy. The contribution of occupation as a risk factor in hypertension has been understood to be associated with "psychological factors" or "psychosocial factors" that generate stress. Official statistics do not include informal work, which is increasingly common in Brazil's major capitals. A prevalence study was carried out among street vendors in two areas of the city of Rio de Janeiro: Largo da Carioca and Largo de Machado. The aim of the study was to describe the main social variables of these professionals, measure the blood pressure of these workers and compare the social and physical data of the street vendors and peddlers in the two regions studied. 142 professionals were interviewed. The street vendors had higher blood pressure levels than the street vendors, but this difference was not statistically significant. The difference in blood pressure levels between the two areas was significant p=01639. The odds ratio was 2.275482094.

The monograph is intended for undergraduate and graduate students studying in the programs of "analytical chemistry", as well as specialists in the field of pharmachemistry.

Floods and inundations are among the main types of natural disasters, often marked by intense rainfall of both short and long duration. Floods occur in many regions of the Earth and are intensified by environmental changes and anthropogenic interventions near rivers. In 2008 and 2009, the municipality of Mossoró-RN experienced above-normal rainfall, drastically increasing the volume of water in the river that cuts through the city, the Apodi-Mossoró. With this in mind, the aim of this study was to carry out an assessment of the socio-environmental damage that occurred in the city of Mossoró, especially in the community of the Ilha de Santa Luzia neighborhood, based on the Damage Assessment Report (AVANDAN) drawn up by the Municipal Civil Defense Coordination (CONDEC), as well as the perception of the people affected by the floods, since the neighborhood is located in a special riverside zone, and an area suitable for permanent preservation and restricted use, subject to flooding. The scenario is aggravated by the lack of continuous preventive actions and only assistance actions during events.

The work carried out by staff/workers who provide services in laboratories is constantly exposed to various risks with different intensity and transmissibility characteristics arising from specific activities. And due to the great variability or multiplicity of activities, operational and organizational procedures existing in each sector of the laboratory environment, this weakens this class of professionals, who are often marginalized from the attentive eyes of public authorities. For these reasons, there was a need to study the physical, operational and organizational characteristics of the laboratory environment that provides services for the physical-chemical and microbiological analysis of water and effluent samples, in order to subsequently draw up a technical-scientific and educational biosafety manual in conjunction with its technical staff, so as to address the technical and operational concerns and doubts of this class of professionals.

For most women, breast cancer and its frequent amputation encourage the development of negative consequences for their body image and, consequently, their sexuality. The breast is closely related to female identity, maturity, sexuality and motherhood, so the impact of mastectomy on women seems to be evident, and challenges emerge for perioperative nursing. With this in mind, we have produced this book, the main aim of which is to integrate and analyse data from studies carried out, contributing to a better understanding of the current situation and promoting the increasing quality of the care provided. The results of the studies show that body image impairment is directly related to the experience of sexuality, and that the more mutilating the surgery, the greater the body image impairment. In this context, nursing interventions, particularly of an informative nature, are extremely important as they facilitate adaptive processes.

Per la maggior parte delle donne, il cancro al seno e la sua frequente amputazione favoriscono lo sviluppo di conseguenze negative sull'immagine del corpo e, di conseguenza, sulla sessualità. Il seno è strettamente legato all'identità femminile, alla maturità, alla sessualità e alla maternità, per cui l'impatto della mastectomia sulle donne sembra essere evidente ed emergono sfide per l'assistenza infermieristica perioperatoria. Con queste premesse, abbiamo realizzato questo libro, il cui scopo principale è quello di integrare e analizzare i dati degli studi effettuati, contribuendo a una migliore comprensione della situazione attuale e promuovendo una crescente qualità dell'assistenza fornita. I risultati degli studi dimostrano che la compromissione dell'immagine corporea è direttamente correlata all'esperienza della sessualità e che più l'intervento chirurgico è mutilante, maggiore è la compromissione dell'immagine corporea. In questo contesto, gli interventi infermieristici, soprattutto di natura informativa, sono estremamente importanti in quanto facilitano i processi di adattamento.

Basic sanitation in the world is still extremely poor, causing serious problems for public health and claiming the lives of millions of children every year. The construction of Evapotranspiration Tanks (TEvap), a decentralised environmental technology that is easy to apply and low cost, provides important local ecosystem services. This study looks at the implementation of 80 TEvap units in the Batoque Extractive Reserve in terms of environmental services and ecological aspects, related to the actions of the "Recovery of the Batoque Lagoon" project. 74 of the 80 planned units were implemented, with an approximate reduction of 88.8 tonnes of waste from the treatment of 11,444.4 kl of sewage and carbon sequestration of approximately 0.05 tC/ha.year-¹ during the period 03/2011 to 12/2012. This generated savings of R$50,620.18 for the public purse. The implementation of the TEvap demonstrated considerable environmental services for the residents of the Batoque Extractive Reserve, especially in the treatment of residential sewage and the reduction of local rubbish.

An intimate portrait of a genius: the late Stephen Sondheim in a series of illuminating and deeply personal interviews from the last years of his life?conversations that show the composer-lyricist as he has likely never been seen before.In 2017, New Yorker staff writer D.T. Max began working on a major profile of Stephen Sondheim that would be timed to the eventual premiere of a new musical Sondheim was writing. Sadly , that process ? and the years of conversation ? was cut short by Sondheim's own hesitations, then the global pandemic, and finally by the great artist's death in November 2021.Now, Max has taken the raw version of these conversations and knit them together into an unforgettable work of literature and celebration. Finale reveals Sondheim?a star who disliked the spotlight?at his most relaxed, thoughtful, sardonic, and engaging, as he talks about work, music, movies, family, New York City, aging, the creative process, and much more.Max brings you into the room and gives you a front row seat for their unusual and intimate three-year-long ?pas de deux.? The two bond, spar, separate, and reunite, as Max elicits from Sondheim a candor and vulnerability he seldom displayed in public. This is a unique portrait of an artist in his twilight, offering remarkable insight into the mind and heart of a genius whose work changed American musical theater and popular culture forever.

Around 80 million Brazilians self-medicate, which is a natural and worrying practice among the population, due to the risks to their health. The survey was carried out among 82 professors from the Institute of Health Sciences, the Institute of Agrarian Sciences and the Institute of Natural, Human and Social Sciences at the Federal University of Mato Grosso. Self-medication is practiced among female teachers (51%) and graduates without any kind of specialization (42.6%). The main class of medication used in this practice was analgesics-antipyretics (95%) and the pathology or symptom that motivated self-medication was headache (80.5%). These drugs were self-indicated in 60% and motivated by knowledge acquired throughout life (33%). Of the main outcomes of self-medication, 78% achieved remission of the symptom that led to the practice. Therefore, since the teaching community is an opinion-forming community, one way of reducing the rates of self-medication would be to make them aware of the dangers of self-medication, so that this knowledge is replicated.

Support for women who are victims of violence is failing under the current system. Violence is protected by the criminal justice system from a perspective that is far removed from the reality of those it aims to protect, and it is unable to protect the free exercise of sexuality. Statistical data demonstrates the ineffectiveness of the criminal justice system when used to protect women. The discourse uses demagoguery, rooting itself in elements such as the principles of equality, legality and humanity, in order to achieve objectives that are not explicitly stated. Victimisation occurs with gender violence, because formally, men will always be the aggressors and women the victims. Triggering the criminal justice system in order to protect women often means victimising them twice over, given the ineffectiveness of the protection system and the implicit criminalisation of the protective discourse. The law cannot protect victims on its own, and a set of interconnected measures is needed, such as psychological care and social attention, so that women are not "victims" of the rules that aim to protect them.

Artificial shading is widely used in the production of cashew rootstocks (Anacardium occidentale L.) and can positively affect their growth rate and quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the germination, growth and development of cashew rootstocks subjected to different levels of shading at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Maranhão/IFMA Campus Codó.

The definitive biography of a remarkable woman and true legend of filmJoan Crawford was one of the most incandescent film stars of all time, yet she may have also been one of the most misunderstood. In this brilliantly researched, thoughtful, and intimate biography, bestselling author Donald Spoto goes beyond the popular caricature?the abusive, unstable mother portrayed in her adopted daughter Christina Crawford's memoir, Mommie Dearest?to give us a three-dimensional portrait of the real woman behind the actress, her dazzling career, and her extraordinary life and times.Based on new archival information and exclusive interviews, Possessed traces Crawford's fifty years of memorable performances in such film classics as Rain, The Women, Mildred Pierce, and Sudden Fear, which are as startling and vivid today as when they were first released. Spoto goes behind the myths to examine the rise and fall of the studio system; Crawford's four marriages; her passionate, thirty-year on-and-off affair with Clark Gable; her friendships and rivalries with other stars; the truth behind the scathing stories in her daughter's memoir; and more.

This work is the result of an analysis of the textbooks used in our Portuguese and History primary and secondary school classrooms, with the aim of discovering the profile and place reserved for black people in their content. There is a great lack of information about Afro-descendant culture in Brazil and its contributions to shaping the identity of the Brazilian people. The injustice of not publicising the legacy brought by native Africans, who were forcibly inserted into a strange and distant land and had to adapt and establish their roots on Brazilian soil, is visible. The culture they brought was incorporated into customs, such as dance, cuisine, music, religion, the language itself and a host of other elements. All of this constitutes the cultural wealth that Afro-descendants brought with them and, in a way, imposed on our culture, contributing in a big way to the formation of our identity.

Born with a beat in his soul and a drumstick in hand, Warren I. Smith's destiny with music was inevitable. His musical chops took him from the smoky jazz clubs of Chicago, through the intoxicating energy of New York's music scene, to global tours, sharing the spotlight with some of the most iconic musical acts of the past six decades. An exceptional blend of a classically trained musician and a relentless riff master, Warren shattered barriers with his thirst for innovation alongside his indomitable spirit.But his journey was far from a solo act; it unfolded against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Era, where the rhythm of societal change harmonized with his personal revolution. In a time when Black musicians battled for recognition, he carved a path that would become a bridge between cultures and a beacon of resilience. His contributions to jazz, R&B, funk, pop, and rock and roll became a universal language, uniting hearts and transcending boundaries.Beyond the melodies and the applause lies a story of unwavering passion, unyielding determination, and unbreakable friendships. Crossing Borders and Playing With Pioneers invites you to step into the electrifying journey of a jazz legend, a trailblazing percussionist, drummer, arranger, and composer who didn't just play the music-he became its heartbeat.

Now the basis for the major documentary film, KISS THE FUTURE, this "extraordinary human story" (Irish Times) is Bill Carter's deeply personal and uplifting memoir of his time as a volunteer aid worker in the besieged city of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War in the 1990s. Carter recounts his efforts to reach out to the rock band U2 in order to spread awareness about the citizens caught in the middle of this conflict, who continued to live their lives with humor, passion, and a defiant, creative spirit.

?If Joy Division defined my life, New Order shaped it?: a fascinating story of sex, drugs, and (indie) rock 'n' roll; of art, money, and crass stupidity; of blind faith and amazing good luck?backed by a soundtrack of truly great songs written by wonderful musiciansIn May 1980 with two acclaimed albums Joy Division had the world at their feet. Then on the eve of their ?rst American tour everything changed. The band's troubled lead singer, Ian Curtis, committed suicide. As Peter Hook has written, ?One day we were Joy Division, then our lead singer died, and the next time we got together, we were a new band.? That new band was New Order?their label Factory Records, their club The Haçienda?all based in Manchester, England. Their distinctive sound, a fusion of post-punk and groundbreaking electronica, paved the way for the Indie/dance music explosion that followed. This innovation would earn them the reputation as one of the most influential groups of their generation, changing the course of popular music on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite their success, New Order were always a collision of the visionary and the volatile, forged in the maverick atmosphere of their hometown, an atmosphere of creativity, epic drug use, and boundary-pushing music. More often than not, relationships in the band were fraught with tension, and New Order broke up and reformed with a frequency that kept fans, and the music press, watching their every move. The third book in his trilogy, which started with the highly regarded The Haçienda: How Not to Run a Club and the bestselling Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division, Substance: Inside New Order is a no-holds-barred account of New Order's entire twenty-seven-year history. Containing outrageous anecdotes, tales of mad excess and astonishing creative perseverance, this book is packed with rich detail, complete discographies, and fascinating technical information about how the music was made. It is also a rollicking read, sure to impress with Hook's talent for recalling the most minute and intimate detail and spinning epic yarns.

This work aims to analyse the possibility of greater realisation of animal rights being analysed from an ecofeminist perspective in Brazilian law, in order to identify how it would be possible to achieve this fact, exposing the origin of the domination of animals by man, putting on the agenda how animals are treated and what would be the benefits for humanity in establishing animals as subjects of rights. In this vein, this research analyses the possibility of a paradigm shift from anthropocentrism to ecocentrism, as well as understanding the interaction and influence of ecofeminism to help implement animal rights effectively in Brazil, enabling a reflection for a future change in ethical stance, thus concluding that ecofeminism brings with it a new possibility of harmonisation in the lives of animals, making the defence of animals more discussed and seen from another angle than the traditional one because women in ecofeminism bring such a possibility.

The review of literature review shows that stemming algorithm has not been proposed yet for extracting Uzbek root words from the Uzbek corpus, which is applicable to the above-mentioned functions. Therefore, the objective of the current research is to develop a stemming algorithm for the Uzbek language. The Uzbek stemming algorithm uses both inflectional and derivational morphemes. The output is in the form of meaningful root words without affixes. Furthermore, the accuracy and strength of the proposed algorithm will be evaluated.
